Heracast IQ
KL66004331Heracast® iQ
Intelligent vacuum-pressure casting machine
Vacuum pump and cooling are integrated into the compact table-top unit. Just plug it in – it's ready for use. The Heracast iQ interactively prompts for all information and actions. The risk of operator errors is virtually eliminated. The optimised casting-chamber mechanism makes insertion of the casting mould and filling with metal child's play. The powerful HF generator quickly and gently heats high-gold-content and cobalt-chrome alloy to casting temperature. The Heracast iQ automatically controls the casting process or the operator can control it manually. The results are fine-grained and dense casts with smooth surfaces. Graphite or ceramic inclusions are a thing of the past. Casting is now fun.
